aspect of the story.

It doesnt matter if Eric raped Taylor or if Taylor made the whole thing up.

Everyone, at best, just wants to forget that this all occurred.

So how does it all play out?

(Evans even throws Sebastians arrogant declaration of nobody controls the digital space right back in his face.)

Instead, Taylor decided to take control of his future, bleak as it may be.

Except in Taylors eyes, its not.

The teen would rather spend a decade in jail than have the guy who raped me be his savior.

Could all of this have been avoided if Eric and Taylor didnt exist in such an intolerant community?

Remember whenhe snuck back into her office that time in episode 7?

Ken Williams to toss out their sons statement about his suspected involvement in Taylors assault.

She insists that Kevin give his confession to the police once again, and her son is ultimately exonerated.

Here the family is unfairly punished over something that had nothing to do with the Taylor Blaine case.

One youll never, ever experience.

And the way we express those experiences out of context can be taken to mean something that they dont.

But the LaCroixs arent alone in the forced to start over category.

Ironically, and in the most disturbing realization of all, she has the Leyland School to thank.

You gotta think about yourself sometimes, you know?

Gotta take whats in front of you.

Is it worth trying to extrapolate what became of these characters after the cameras turned off?

In real life, more often than not, there is no resolution.

for an all-new story line.
